Rev. Al Sharpton spoke at the rally, saying “We stand together today by the hundreds saying we don’t care how long it takes. We want justice for Eric Garner.”

A grand jury has already declined to indict the police officer who placed Garner in a chokehold, but the U.S. Attorney’s office in Brooklyn is investigating the possibility of charges that he violated Garner’s rights.

On Monday, New York City finalized a $5.9 million settlement with Garner’s family, but admitted no liability in his death.
